In short, yes, because its visually discomforting for us to see people with nose piercings. And since they can't see themselves (but their forearms/hands) why put everyone in discomfort like that when they reap no benefit themselves. It would make sense if people saw themselves in third person view, but we don't, and as a result everyone else is made to suffer.
Its sort of like if someone was vomiting in public. Usually they would try to make it to a bathroom or somewhere private as to not disturb other people. Not so much as to benefit themselves. So in a similar sense its sort of like society is asking nose piercers to do us a solid and saying "hey we like ya and all and we think its nice you are expressing yourself but its just disturbing us a little so when in public could you please not do it."
